Looks like my X1 started to leak a bit again. It seems like it leaks after about every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. I was wondering if XB engines are more oil-tight than the older XL engines. It looks like a horrid pain to get at the top end on the XB bikes to me is why I ask. | ||

Nate, Where is the leak? Are you talking about seepage at the cylinder to case area? | ||

Only leak I've got is at the clutch cable. Always dirty. My old sporty was the same way. | ||

If I drink a lot of coffee, I have to stop frequently to take a leak.  | ||

warm em up before you launch... they'll leak a lot less. my rear base gasket seeps every winter. | ||

new 0612r bolt, has had small oil leak somewhere on front of engine since ive brought it home. Not bad enough to even show a loss on the dipstick, just enough to make a mess of the chin spoiler after a ride. Hopefully they will fix it under warranty. Only has 900 miles, when I get 1000 mile service done ill ask em about it. |
